Cloud destroys Sonic and ignites serious Cloud-over-Link talk |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud turned a briefly hopeful Sonic challenge into a devastating rout, confirming Sonic's decline and dramatically raising expectations for Cloud against Link. The writeup treats this as the point where Cloud's 2003 strength became impossible to dismiss.

Samus decisively settles her old rivalry with Sonic |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus decisively settled her famous rivalry with Sonic after their controversial classic two years earlier. The writeup credits Samus's run of new games and Sonic's stagnation, while dismissing excuses for the lopsided rematch.

Sonic handles Tifa and sets up the long-awaited Mega Man clash |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sonic shook off Tifa's early resistance and pulled away once his morning vote arrived. The writeup treats the match mostly as a final setup for the much less predictable Sonic-Mega Man quarterfinal.

Sonic ends Luigi's surprise run and reopens old strength questions |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sonic beat Luigi without difficulty and brought Luigi's surprising earlier run back down to earth. The writeup uses the result mainly to question how much Kirby and especially Zero had really shown in losing to Luigi.

Sora's vote drain helps Sonic hold off Squall |
|
✓ |
|
|
|
1 |
|
Sonic held off Squall for first, but Squall remained unexpectedly competitive despite sharing support with Sora. The writeup treats Sonic's narrow-looking advantage as another sign that four-way matches exposed his weaknesses.
LFF: The writeup says Sora drained enough Square support from Squall that Squall probably would have beaten Sonic without Sora in the poll.

Sephiroth suppresses Auron as Sonic safely advances |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Sephiroth and Sonic advanced in a match the writeup considered essentially predetermined once Auron shared the field with Sephiroth. Sonic's solid showing quieted some of the criticism generated by his earlier loss.
SFF: The writeup says Sephiroth SFFed fellow Final Fantasy entrant Auron badly, preventing Auron from reproducing his prior win over Sonic.

Sonic shuts down the Kirby upset case |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sonic beat Kirby comfortably and completed the collapse of years of hype that Ganondorf or Kirby might break the Noble Nine through him. The writeup treats Sonic as restored to roughly his traditional place.

Rally spillover helps Mewtwo crush Sonic |
|
|
✓ |
|
|
1 |
|
Mewtwo crushed Sonic in a result made even more shocking by Sonic's failure to mount his usual daytime comeback. The win turned Mewtwo into the preferred anti-Draven hope for the remainder of the contest.
Rally: The writeup says rally spillover from the Link-Draven battle materially boosted Mewtwo, with Zen arguing that Sonic probably wins without that outside support.

What this is
Each row's Headline and (on filter) narrative come from a
ChatGPT reading of that match's Board 8 wiki writeup. The five flags
(SFF same-fanbase factor, LFF low-fanbase
factor, Rally outside rally, Cheat cheating
alleged, Pic match-picture factor) are set only when the writeup
asserts that effect — never inferred from the numbers. Hover a check for the
note. †OT marks a writeup that mostly wanders off the
match.
